[20:3]  1 tc The LXX and the Syriac Peshitta lack the word “again.”

[20:3]  2 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[20:3]  3 tn Heb “said,” that is, to himself. So also in v. 25.

[20:34]  4 tn Heb “for he was upset concerning David for his father had humiliated him.” The referent of the pronoun “him” is not entirely clear, but the phrase “concerning David” suggests that it refers to David, rather than Jonathan.
